Would a reflecting telescope be good for kids to use?

Reflecting Telescopes for Kids

You can find toy telescopes on the market which provide some magnification of objects and amusement for kids. However, rather than spending money on a product providing little value, consider choosing among the smaller reflecting telescopes. You can find 76mm or 80mm aperture reflecting telescopes, the smallest size recommended for useful stargazing. These models will provide an excellent alternative to the toy telescopes, functioning well at a reasonable magnification up to 50x, enough to see the details of the moon and images of brighter planets.
